AF Gear and alts

[ErzaScarlet77]

you could already do like give alex savage to main . af2 to 1st alt, alex normal to other, and the rest on law or augmented ironworks

isnt that what a lot of people do?

I did. In 1.0. So...yeah.

Before or after Darklight gear with the abysmal droprate came ingame? Where it was common to farm Cutters Cry and Aurun Vale 3 times each day for months and not even get the body for just 1 job?

Why are you in such a hurry to gear up?

So we can multi task in Savage? You know in case someone's missing.

450 tomes per class <,<? Some people really have way to much time...!
I cant even cap the current 450 tomes per week!

Can we scrap this system where we can only gear up one class for many months before gearing alts? Why cant the new tomes be 450 week for each class instead of 1? So say I reach the cap for my main, I can grind my alt/alts to get their caps.

1000% agree. It's super annoying to only be able to gear one job when one of the biggest premises of the game is that you can do everything on one character.

This problem is made worse by the fact that its job specific (which I actually like - give us more job specific gear! just dont lock it behind a 13 week time gate) and not role specific.

I know it's this way because of people who apparentlyw ill gear out, finish alex savage and unsub. But I think designing the game for these people instead of those who are going to gear up multiple/every job and keep playing is a bad decision, but I'm not in charge.

If you're willing to grind/spend more time you shouldn't have artificial barriers/caps put in the way.

Today I did my dailies and farmed my alex normal tokens and I got to like 430/450 - it's really not hard to cap in a week even if you play significantly less than I did today.

Why are you in such a hurry to gear up?

I don't think "id like to gear up my alt job sooner than 3 months from now" is a hurry...

Your alt would be full 210 before your main if you do this.

I agree. FF14 system is supposed to be unique in that you effectively have all alts in one. However, this system has very little advantage over the other Normal ones. 1 - Do you save time leveling? Not really, you lose out on all the quest exp and end up Dungeon or Fate grinding instead. It is a bit faster, so ill give it to SE.
2 - You get to share loot between Characters? Sometimes, my DRK and WAR can use the same gear, so can my Scholar and WHM. BUT - for some reason Eso gear is CLASS SPECIFIC....WTF!!
3 - You cannot do any gearing of alts using any ockout or capped mechanics.

In many other MMOs I level my ALT so I have something to do while waiting on raid and tome/mark/etc. caps to reset.
I cannot see why you cannot earn 1 token per floor PER class in ALex.
This would mean u'd need to clear Alex on your ALT. No using your main to clear Alex for Alt loot.
Capping ESO per Class is probably more difficult to implement.

well switch it around whatever . either way youll have 4 or 5 characters that will probly be onyl within 20 ilvl of each other and those should be good for any content in the game except savage or something

Honestly, I want more job specific gear.

Tired of all my healers wearing the same stuff, meanwhile all the DoW DPS get unique sets.
